Cachet

A cachet (Ka-SH-ay) is a special characteristic or quality; an indication of approved or superior status.


It also means a seal, as of a letter; a warrant formerly issued by a French king who could warrant imprisonment or death in a signed letter under his seal; a design or artwork on the left hand side of an envelope, found primarily on first day covers.
